Impresses in win
MNorth Melbourne Kangaroos
July 13, 2021
Stephenson scored one goal to go with 38 disposals (22 kicks, 16 handballs) and made 10 marks during Monday's 70-60 win over West Coast.
ANALYSIS
Stephenson had mostly shown average production outside of a good game in Round 1, but he had plenty of help from the rest of his teammates while putting up a top-tier score against the Eagles. Seeing as he's only topped 20 disposals three times all season, he needs to prove he can make it happen twice before becoming a reliable fantasy target.
Retuning against GWS
MNorth Melbourne Kangaroos
June 10, 2021
Stephenson (wrist) was named to the team sheet ahead of a Round 13 match against the GWS Giants.
ANALYSIS
Stephenson broke his wrist in Round 9 and returns to face the Giants, which are also returning some of their best players in this game. With two goals in all but one of his last six tames, Stephenson offers consistent value, though he's only topped 100 fantasy points in one game: Round 1 against Port Adelaide.

Wrist
May 11, 2021
Stephenson is expected to miss six weeks after undergoing surgery on a hairline fracture in his wrist, GM Brady Rawlings announced Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Stephenson has had some excellent performances this season and will be sorely missed after scoring at least two goals in six of the last seven rounds. Someone else will need to step up as the injuries keep piling up for the 'Roos.
Full line in loss
MNorth Melbourne Kangaroos
April 18, 2021
Stephenson totaled 16 disposals (14 kicks, two handballs), two goals, nine marks and two tackles during a 77-47 loss to Geelong on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The forward now has three straight two-goal efforts, and he also recorded a season-high figure in marks during Sunday's match. Stephenson projects to continue serving as a versatile fantasy asset for the Kangaroos moving forward, although he's notably come nowhere close to matching the 33 disposals he managed in his March 21 match against Port Adelaide.
Double digits in kicks, handballs
MNorth Melbourne Kangaroos
March 21, 2021
Stephenson garnered 33 disposals, seven tackles and five marks and clearances each Saturday as North Melbourne fell to Port Adelaide 117-65.
ANALYSIS
Double-digit totals in kicks (17) and handballs (16) left Stephenson leading all players in disposals and his seven total tackles was a game-high in Saturday night's contest. The forward may have failed to record a goal for just the third time in seven outings, but his overall numbers against Port Adelaide nevertheless leave the 22 year-old one of only nine players in the AFL to top 120 fantasy points at this early point in the season.
